Eliza Ball Hayley in profile (facing right), looking down while at some form of handiwork: possibly sharpening a pen, or preparing materials for needlework. b&w/sepia Detail from lost Romney watercolour, which also features William Hayley and Captain Howell, a protegé of William Hayley’s who was lost at sea.
@fbls.bsky.social observes how “Scholarly references to Hayley are … always in relation to her husband, hardly ever recognising her own intellectual merit.” A pity, as Hayley had plenty to say… bit.ly/ElizaHayleyAuthor #lifewriting #18thC #c18th #womenshistory #womenswriting #reputation
